According to Ismail Bayar the TCG Anadolu is supposed to enter service late 2020, anyone knows what the status of this ship is? Is it still realistic or can we expect it in 2021?
Lmao the dude was coked out of his mind for the last couple decades. I am surprized he lasted this long with his lifestyle. He was a legendary footballer still so RIP.
Not unless they want to bankrup themselves. Mind you that they are also looking to buying several new warship from US, France or UK worth billions of dollars, this on top of the fact they already purchased Rafale's from France and the Viper upgrade package for their F-16's. Its not impossible...
I dont blame the French for picking this rifle. Its without a doubt one of the best out there and extremely reliable, to the point many nations copied the concept including Turkey.
The problem with the Russian modernization is that its become far to expensive to properly go through with it. Much of their project have been delayed and post-poned for this very reason. I think much of their modernization will be much more gradual in the coming decades. There are already...
Well its time the TB-2 got a nickname. The Predator and Reaper has one, so we need one aswell. I present you TB-2 "Shark" (Köpekbalığı)... can we make a naval version so this makes sense lol.
Another Islamist attack. Why are these people living in Europe?! What did you expect to move to a secular progressive society where people value freedom of speech above religion? At this point there should be legitimate mechanism in place to deport these people.
Mind you even that was a struggle considering the original design was based on the Israeli Hatehof MRAP with which they had a legal dispute about the property rights. Their second apc was Amazon who also was based on an Israeli design. This all the while Otokar was the first company to build and...

There is distinct possibility that the production line can be re-opened since Japan was willing to pay the cost for the acquisition of F-22. If Israel, Japan and the US can be some sort of agreemeent then why wouldnt they sell.
However from what i know the F-22 cant be sold to anyone by law so...
The duality of my feelings towards France creates a massive mental shitstorm for me. I respect France for staying true to their "Laicite" within their institutions and political system but cant stand their hypocritical foreign policy. Truth be told Islamic radicalism has become a serious trouble...
I was always suspicious that this was the reason. The official reason is shortage of money but they have been purchasing and developing local weapons effortlessly for a while now so it makes sense the real reason is disagreements with Korea.
Its hard to believe Indonesia doesnt have the funds. They are an emerging economic powerhouse whose GDP is larger then Turkey. If we can finance our own fighter jet then they should definitly be able to co-finance and existing one that is fraction the cost of the overal cost. There is mostly...
